Navigating the WatersA gentle sleep shaping & coaching program ​ ​

"Before working with Erica, I would spend HOURS bouncing on the ball attempting to get my 5mo to sleep and sometimes it honestly just felt like I was making him more awake and agitated. After just days of support with Erica, he seems to finally be getting "quality" sleep and much more of it! Almost everyone that comes over to visit seems to notice how much happier and well-rested the little guy is! He is so peaceful during his nighttime routine now it’s almost as if he’s enjoying it and knows I’m helping him get the good sleep he needs. I realize that this will all fall into place with some coaching in a couple months when he’s ready. I feel infinitely better about his sleep (and mine) than I did when I first reached out. Erica is truly a sleep magician". Diana, month 5

Part 1: Support & Sleep Shaping for Parents with babies under 6 months

What is Sleep Shaping and why is it important for parents and babies under 6mo? When your baby is little, our goal is that they learn to enjoy sleep, and that we have a parent who is more confident and connected to their child. You'll learn what’s truly age appropriate, and will take with you tools and tips for weeks and months to come. This program is empowering, educational, and catered to you and your unique baby.

​In the sleep shaping program, I am your virtual sleep doula – offering you sleep support plus extended postpartum support and care. During our time together, I will arm you with resources and sleep shaping techniques. I will help you find the confidence to trust your intuition as parents and I will give you the tools to increase your sense of well-being, get through the day with more ease, learn what is truly normal, and set your family up for sleep success. This high value package covers it all.​You'll receive:

An in-depth intake and review so that I can meet you wherever you are in your new parent journey​

A 60 min deep-dive consultation to cover goals and start looking at strategies and care​

30 minute sleep support follow up calls

​Communication on our sleep log in between our calls to check in on progress

Support in maintaining the nursing relationship and breast milk supply if applicable.​​

M​embership to an intimate bi-monthly Q&A/ sleep support group, for parents with babies 0-5 months.

​Access to me on all things postpartum and new parenthood.

This program is not for you if you are looking for a quick fix (some families do see quicker results but it depends on what’s happening with the baby and on the various factors in the family unit). This program is also not for you if you expect that your baby at this age can sleep through the night without needing any kind of nurturing or attention.

​“Before returning to Erica for coaching support, my 6mo son was starting to wake up every 1-2 hours, only going back to sleep with more nursing. We were both exhausted and frustrated. I knew I did not want to try cry-it-out, but I was also of the mindset that, given his temperament, maybe he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep on his own and/or sleep through the night until he was much older. Working with Erica’s wonderful guidance and her tailored approach, my son learned to fall asleep independently in just a few nights. I was able to coach my son in a way that was comfortable for me and my son in order to get the sleep he and I both desperately needed, and I had Erica’s help each step of the way. She is one of a kind and I highly recommend her!” Diana, month 7

This unique offering will take you from where you are, to where you need to go, and more. I'm with you every step of the way as you help your child learn new sleep skills. You will absolutely feel an increase in well-being and confidence, and be able to teach your child with ease and patience. I believe in sustainability and that when you take time on things, they last. Some things we work on yield quick results, and others take more time.

You'll receive:

An in-depth intake and individualized look at your goals, so I can meet you where you are in your sleep journey​

​A 60 minute initial consult with Erica to kick-off your work together and create a plan for your family

30 minute support calls to arm you with as much support as possible!

Regular written communication on our shared sleep log, in order to: evaluate progress, provide insight and tips, suggest day-by-day adjustments, and navigate all situations as they arise.

Before working with Erica, I had a lot of anxiety around my son’s sleep habits and schedule. We were looking to get our 2.5yr old son on a more consistent nap schedule and nighttime routine, and what we loved most about working with Erica was her flexible and low-stress approach. Erica was always really kind and encouraging, keeping our adjustments manageable and reminding us that sleep coaching tends not to be linear.” Jeannette

​"Erica helped me navigate the emotional changes from leaving a co-sleeping relationship and helped us slowly integrate a new bedtime routine. Within a few weeks, we established a REAL nighttime routine for my youngest (not just lumping him in with the routine for my older two) and he was sleeping, through the night, in his own space." Jessica​

“Our son wasn’t sleeping terribly but we knew it could be better. Gentle coaching is 100% the reason our son now puts himself to sleep and sleeps through the night. Erica’s kindness and calming guidance really helped us feel confident in what we were doing everyday. We can’t thank Erica enough.” Denise ​​"Erica is a thought leader for all things birth related. Her expertise goes back almost 2 decades. She not only helped my child get to bed...she helped me uncover the parent I wanted to be." Jill
